\subsection*{Course Description}
Students examine linear spaces and subspaces; linear independence and dependence; bases and dimension; linear operators; matrix theory; determinants and systems of linear equations; eigenvalues and eigenvectors.

\subsection*{Exams}
There will be midterm exams in class on Friday, February 24, and Friday,
March 30. Each of these will cover material up to and including the
previous Monday. Exam makeups or rescheduling will be permitted
only in extreme circumstances. 

Students will not use calculators or any other electronic gagetry during exams. Students wishing to use a cellphone on the desk during an exam as a clock should consider using a watch or turning their heads and looking at the clock every so often. This should be necessary no more than once per minute.

The two midterm exams will be weighted equally in your course grade,
with the final exam weighted double. The final exam will be
cumulative, but the midterm exams will not be.

\subsection*{Quizzes}
In the class meeting following each homework assignment due-date, a
short quiz will be given, covering the same material as the
homework. Quiz questions are meant to be similar to the easier
questions on the homework. Missed quizzes will only be excused with
good reasons.

Students will not use calculators or any other electronic gagetry during quizzes.
